Occoquan Town Council Looks to Expand Riverwalk, Address Long-Term Maintenance Needs

The Occoquan Town Council is moving forward with plans to expand its Riverwalk and is weighing long-term maintenance strategies to protect the existing waterfront walkway.

At its March 18, 2025 meeting, the council discussed a $1.5 million project to extend the Riverwalk, with $1.2 million of the funding expected to come from a state grant. The expansion would add to the town’s popular waterfront path, increasing public access and improving walkability in the historic district.

Town Manager Adam Linn said the project timeline depends on whether the grant requires matching funds and whether that funding must be spent after the grant is awarded. If no match is required, work could begin as early as this spring—or if previously earmarked local funds can be used. Otherwise, construction may be delayed into Fiscal Year 2027.
